Life Science
In our Environments Module,students start by creating their own terrariums to which they will introduce different organisms.
Students will be learning about different ecosystems.They will investigate how environmental factors affect different types of organisms in various types of environments, including terrestrial and aquatic.
We will also conduct several experiments with controls and variables to determine various organisms' "optimal conditions" including water and salinity tolerance ranges. Students will learn how to keep precisely detailed journals while controlling variables in a science experiment.

Physical Science
We have discovered a force!
In our Magnetism and Electricity
unit, we are discovering that magnets
are attracted to iron (Fe) and things
that contain iron, like steel.
We have also observed the behavior
of permanent magnets, including their
north and south poles.
While exploring electricity,
conductors, and insulators, the
students will build series and
parallel circuits before creating
their own electromagnets.

Earth Science
In our Solid Earth unit, students began by investigating mock rocks. We learned that rocks are made of two or more minerals. We also learned that minerals can not be broken down. We are using evaporation to see what other ingredients were used to make the mock rocks. By the end of our investigations, we will know how to identify rocks and minerals by their properties. We will also have a better understanding of landforms such as volcanoes and geological events such as earthquakes and the different types of faults.
